I saw a thread going aroud "WHY DON'T DOMINICANS MANAGE?". While on that note. I must say that some of us (1st world citizens) are use to the I WANT IT/HERE YOU HAVE IT way of living. It is while on this note that I must look at what's going on in Florida after jurricane Wilma. No electricity, no water, NO SERVICE. This has got me thinking "ARE WE (1ST WORLD CITIZENS) SO USED TO OUR WAY OF LIVING THAT WE CANNOT MANAGE WHEN GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND HELP?
In contrast, dominicans deal with no electricity (get an inverter, batteries, generator etc), have no water, they get a well in their house. It seem to me they are more able to cope than they 1st world counterparts.
Granted, Florida's situation is due to a natural disaster, but imagine no power over a larger area. It is shameful that as 1st world citizens we may not be able to cope while 3rd world citizens are already coping without some services that we could not do without.
